You're not trying to argue on the internet, are you?

I am not offended by the special olympics picture but I probably should be and many people will be. I wouldn't show that around too much.

btw - I work with developmentally disabled (MR) folks so I might be especially sensitvie to this.

Thanks for the option to express myself. I hope we don't get into arguing on the internet over this.

Perhaps I don't know the background behind the "Fries" song...is there more to it than someone making fun of people who work at BK? I just thought that was funny.

That special olympics picture is just wrong.

I'm with you here. I found it funny and I also thought the "fries" song was making fun of BK. After I pushed submit, I realized that most people might not approve of the content.

I thought the BK song was funny too. I guess it is ok to make fun of our own kind? Sometimes I feel like I am not far from the BK guy even though I am now 47 and have an advanced degree, etc. Or maybe I was once not far from that guy.

Hey I worked at McDonald's. Coming home smelling like grease sucked.

I used to work at McDonalds' too...in fact, at one point, three members of my family worked there...but that is another story.

I would come home smelling like grease as well. I was not fond of the smell either. I would, on the other hand, get great big hugs from my brother's kids who were living with my parents and us at the time...all three would meet me at the door with a great big hug. I know these kids were not that fond of me and when asked why all the hugs, I received the response, "Because you smell like french fries..."

McDonald's marketing...I'm lovin it.

I've never worked at a fast food place, but my current boss used to work at a fish & chips place when he was in college. Imagine what HE smelled like after his shift.
